Balzarog Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 If anyone missed Great planes: F/A-18 its a great documentary. I never realized the F-5 Tiger = F-17 cobra = F/A-18 aspect before https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekR_QnY5thw F-5 + F404-GE-400 (the engine in the Hornet) = F-20 Tigershark. Imagine it.

Mule Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Just posting some stuff that has seriously upped the hype for the Hornet (as if it wasn't already) For some reason embedding this isn't working. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOHYVUZUpYA This is one of the most recent videos I've seen of F/A-18C's operating from a carrier, lots of good traps, refuelling and strikes. Hornets Over Kuwait by Jay A. Stout Currently reading this, seems pretty good so far, will update when I'm done. Amazon Link Bogeys and Bandits: The Making of a Fighter Pilot by Robert Gandt Quite enjoyed this one although its more about the pilots and their backgrounds which I found less interesting than a war diary type of book but still worth checking out. Amazon Link Haven't found too many books by Hornet pilots, anyone got any others to recommend? I've read Bogeys and Bandits (great stuff) I downloaded Hornets over Kuwait and really enjoying it. Many thanks. Fighter Pilot Podcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agiel7 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 It occurs to me that for the first few weeks we may not see that many Hornets airborne on servers, even though plenty of people bought the module. Why? Because the flight deck of the carrier will be foul due to all the people who crashed trying to trap when they got the wave off from the LSO :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AoS_Nexus Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Maybe we'll have trap wires on ground runways you know? Like in real life with the T-45 Goshawk they do "false" carrier landings with it, i'll be using that first if it is created.

Like in real life with the T-45 Goshawk they do "false" carrier landings with it, i'll be using that first if it is created. I've seen the devs post somewhere that this will NOT be a thing, at least not any time in the near future. Apparently it's a lot of work to program that in, and they said it's not a top priority for them right now. Too much other stuff to work on, I guess. I'll see if I can find the post.

Emmy Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 It doesn't strike me as a difficult thing to put the landing "box" outline on a runway in order to work on flying carrier patterns. This is what they do at bases like NAF El Centro. They don't actually take a wire (unless there's an emergency .. but even the emergency wire is not in the "box", its further down the runway) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://www.476vfightergroup.com/content.php High Quality Aviation Photography For Personal Enjoyment And Editorial Use. www.crosswindimages.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Zaius Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Out of all the 4.5 (5th generation included) fast movers on display it was actually the Hornet that imo stole the show, not sure if it was the weather or if the Spanish pilot was given permission to fly a more 'dynamic' display but he nailed it - i was expecting a slighly less manauverable F16'ish type performance but the way the Hornet exploits high alpha is uniquely awesome - whilst watching the display all i could think about was DCS!

bcradio Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) WOW.... Some incredibly slow speeds over the top, and yeah, that pull out around 1:05 seems really, really low. And 2:45....
